UV Gaskets and Seals

UV light curable Form-In-Place gaskets are dispensed as flowable liquids or non-migrating gels, exactly where a gasket is required, and can be cured (hardened) in seconds as part of continuous in-line production process. Panacol-USA’s Stay-In-Place gasket technology produces gasket materials that adhere to the surfaces they are cured upon, permitting immediate handling and continuous production.

UV light curable Form-In-Place gaskets are dispensed as flowable liquids or non-migrating gels, exactly where a gasket is required, and can be cured (hardened) in seconds as part of continuous in-line production process. Panacol-USA UV gaskets cure rapidly with UV or LED systems, permitting immediate handling and continuous production.

UV Gaskets and Seals

New, UV and visible light curable Form-In-Place gaskets, (FIP/CIP), are available from Panacol-USA that possess flexibility, resiliency, moisture resistance, and low compression set. High viscosity gel gaskets will maintain their profile from dispense through cure.
With performance that surpasses traditional die-cut gaskets, Panacol-USA gasket materials are dispensed as flowable liquids or non-migrating gels, exactly where a gasket is required. The material can be cured (hardened) in seconds with broad spectrum UV lamps or LED systems (365nm/405nm) as part of a continuous in-line production process. These gasket materials are ideally dispensed using industry standard, programmable robotic equipment. Automation maximizes processing speed and ensures consistent gasket profile and cure. Adjustments for new product geometries can be made in minutes without the added costs, delays, and down-time waiting for new (die-cut) tooling. Gaskets can be formed on-the-spot for the most complex component configurations.
Panacol-USA’s Stay-In-Place gasket technology produces gasket materials that adhere to the surfaces they are cured upon, allowing immediate handling and continuous production. In the event that future component disassembly and gasket replacement becomes necessary, the gasket can be removed without difficulty. A wide variety of gasket materials are available to meet desired functional performance. Typical performance properties include high resistance to moisture, low shrinkage, ability to withstand repeated thermal cycling, high cohesive strength, and surfaces that range from tack-free to sticky (similar to a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive).
These products cure in seconds when exposed to UV/Visible light (320-460nm), with at least 50 mW/cm2 intensity. Panacol-USA UV gaskets are also available that cure with LED system producing either 365nm or 405nm wavelengths.
